Re: [Qemu-block] [Qemu-devel] Guest unresponsive after Virtqueue size exceeded error

[Fernando Casas Schössow]

I can test again with qemu 3.1 but with previous versions yes, it was happening the same with both virtio-blk and virtio-scsi.

For 3.1 I can confirm it happens for virtio-scsi (already tested it) and I can test with virtio-blk again if that will add value to the investigation.

Also I'm attaching a guest console screenshot showing the errors displayed by the guest when it goes unresponsive in case it can help.

Thanks for the patch. I will build the custom qemu binary and reproduce the issue. This may take a couple of days since I cannot reproduce it at will. Sometimes it takes 12 hours sometimes 2 days until it happens.

Hopefully the code below will add more light on to this problem.

Thanks,

Fernando
